It took my friends about a year (sic!) to persuade me to watch Once Upon A Time.Finally, I did. Mainly because their final argument was, "Remember that dark evil dude from Eragon that was the only thing you liked in the whole movie? Well, he's in it". And he is GORGEOUS. Later, my friends confessed that they asked me to watch this only in order to make me paint Rumplestiltskin|Mr.Gold...)))

What can I say? IT WORKED.

See, I absolutely love painting Clark Gregg, because his anatomy is very close to the one of some art school paragons (meaning: nearly a perfection; not joking, I mean, CHECK DAT SKULL), and this pleases me in a calming way. On the other hand, when I started working on Robert Carlyle's facial features, I SCREAMED WITH JOY. He is so, so deliciously wrong!..Ahem.Anyway.I hope you enjoy the result.

Hi! So sorry to bother you but I just wanted to let you know that an account on Instagram called @thedarkonek claiming credit for this piece because he "edited it". He refuses to hear otherwise and is rude to any account who tries to inform him that it's your art. I figured you would want to know.

Thank you for letting me know; I'm rather tolerant to people who reblog/repost my stuff, especially when it's fan art, but this user is just... rude. Not sure if I can fix that, but I'll spread the word.

One of my very FAVORITES of a Gold/Rumple combo. Simply GORGEOUS!!! Love the style, colors, everything. Has such life & suits the character(s) to a tee! Not enough words to describe my love for this piece! BRAVO!!!

WOW... this is GORGEOUS. Just wow... the colors, the effects. They're so well done and perfectly give the proper atmosphere and elusive feeling of Rumple. So beautiful I'm in love with the green light of his face, the blowing petals, his pose and expression. D: D: D:
